SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Legrand,
North America today announced
BACnet support for its Wattstopper architectural dimming platform,
extending BACnet integration capabilities to its award-winning
Lighting Control and Automation Panel (LCAP) series. This allows
building automation and management systems to control all LCAP
dimmer loads, buttons, and occupancy sensors. Now, all projects
requiring BACnet/IP can have LCAP panels specified on the job.
A growing number of commercial projects now require building
management systems (BMS) to be capable of interfacing via
BACnet/IP. The Wattstopper solution, the
BACnet-enabled InFusion Controller, helps industry
professionals meet this requirement in the most cost-effective and
simple way. The ability for the BMS system to have greater control
and receive feedback from the Wattstopper architectural dimming
platform provides opportunities to increase energy efficiency,
building optimization, and user convenience.
Available in two models to meet any project goal, the economical
InFusion Controller Lite is ideal for smaller projects while
the InFusion Controller II is applicable for larger
applications where networking and expansion are possibilities.
These controllers meet demands for delay-free and precise control
of small to large complex systems. When the BACNET-IC-IP option is
selected for InFusion Controllers, no additional hardware is
required and the programming options for individual system
personalization through the latest Design Center 3.7 software
are included. The software provides robust control options, with
BACnet object support, for system components that are accessible
for use and control by the BMS system.
"Our expanded BACnet capabilities highlight the seamless
integration of our lighting controls solutions with a building's
BMS, helping facility managers and specifiers operate their
buildings as efficiently as possible," said Jon Null, Product Marketing Manager,
Architectural Dimming at Legrand. "The added benefit with
Wattstopper solutions is that we mitigate the complexity of code
compliance and provide a path to higher building performance."
